Militia at the battle of Waterloo. When he was discharged he
settled in Stirling and ran a school. In 1831, he bought the

had bought that of the Randall's. Admitted a Burgess of Stirling 7
November 1833, he was elected to the Town Council, but lost his
seat in 1840. He published only a handful of chapbooks, perhaps
because he started the Stirling Observer, the first number
of which appeared 15 September 1836. It was a Liberal and Free
Church paper. Johnstone was his own editor. A James Fraser claimed
to have locked up the first issue of the paper. Ebenezer Johnstone
retired 1 November 1860 and died 25 October 1864, aged 75.Stirling Observer Press: Ninety years progress 1836-1926.
